Welcome back everybody to another edition of Irish Illustrated Insider.

It's Monday, October 9th, and we are in the aftermath of Nordames' 33 to 20 loss at Louisville this past weekend.

Tim O'Malley, we just met with Marcus Freeman.

You can check us out on our instant analysis post,

post press conference.

But, man, when you're coming out of a loss

and you start asking questions about play calling

and who's responsible and what can you say and what can't you say.

There's not a whole lot that head coaches can say anymore for fear of offending anybody.

But anyway, Nordin's 33 to 20 loss.

There are a lot of people at fault on Saturday night at Louisville.

Yeah, there's a lot of people that deserve

to be offended. I think that's the problem, but you're right. You can't. We talked about this prior.

You can't. If you name a player, you're quote unquote throwing one to the bust, even though their

coaches are not puppeteers. The players actually do have to do the things they're getting paid a lot of

money for. The coaches are getting paid a lot of money too, and they have to figure out how to be able to move the ball against Louisville.

It's fair to ask that Notre Dame be better odd offensively than they were against Louisville.
